Chapter 1867 The essence of the [Rule Analysis System] advances civilization's technology by on

Chapter 1867 The essence of the [Rule Analysis System] propels civilization's technology forward by an era.

What Bai Xuan extracted was the most fundamental and core "imprint" of its soul, but this imprint had lost most of the detailed information about the "individual" over the long years, including its former appearance.

What remains is merely a basic framework of the soul representing "once being human," a nearly blank canvas.

In Aizen's view, this transmigrator, in the process of transmigrating into an information aggregate, may have, to some extent, "killed" himself as a "human being".

The soul that Bai Xuan has extracted is the "spark" of its life, but the "person" who once possessed a unique appearance, memories, and emotions may have been lost forever in the vast sea of ​​data.

"To directly transmigrate into a powerhouse at the galaxy level, there will always be a price to pay."

"But the price is much heavier than any of us imagined."

As Su Yunqing listened to Aizen's analysis and gazed at the pure yet empty soul in the air, she sighed softly, her tone filled with complex emotions.

Time travel, in a sense, is a cruel gamble that stakes on one's entire existence.

Luck, mindset, and opportunity are all indispensable.

Not every transmigrator can thrive like the protagonist in a novel, nor can everyone gain a foothold in another world.

Some time travelers may not have any special abilities or advantages, and they fall into a completely unfamiliar, even dangerous, world with nothing but their bare hands.

Those with ability, talent, and a bit of luck may seize opportunities and gradually grow into strong individuals; but those with mediocre abilities and bad luck are likely to disappear silently into an unfamiliar corner from the very beginning, without even making a ripple.

This time traveler's luck could be described as either extremely good or extremely bad.

Fortunately, the race he was born into granted him terrifying strength that surpassed even the Milky Way, giving him a starting point so high that countless other transmigrators could only look up to him in disbelief.

But that's precisely the bad thing.

This powerful force comes at the cost of completely stripping him of his emotions, memories, and even his awareness of his own existence as a "human being."

He became a cold machine, existing solely for "observation" and "logic".

Even now, though Bai Xuan has extracted his soul essence, the "him" of the past, the "person" with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, with a unique appearance and memories, has been completely lost in that vast and cold ocean of data, and can never be found again.

"But what are you going to do with his soul after extracting it?"

Su Yunqing snapped out of her reverie and looked at Bai Xuan with some confusion.

"Why not just kill him? Although this guy is quite pitiful, he is, after all, a transmigrator with a system."

"If he were still conscious, he could surrender and have the chat group strip him of the system, but in his current state, he has no way to surrender, right?"

"If we don't kill them, the system can't reclaim them."

Sympathy aside, Su Yunqing always kept a clear distinction between matters of principle, such as transmigrator missions and system recycling.

The tragic fate of a stranger who traveled through time was at most a sigh in her mind, far less significant than the tangible rewards of the mission.

The rewards for recycling [rule-level items] are the most important.

"Isn't this a bit murderous?"

Hearing her matter-of-fact tone, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but twitch his lips and retort.

"What? You're not going to take the rewards after the system takes them back?"

Su Yunqing glanced at Kuroba Kaito.

"Of course, a reward is necessary!"

"forget it."

Kaito Kuroba quickly shook his head.

He came to participate in the mission, risking his life, just for the rewards of the time traveler mission, right?
Principles and compassion must indeed take a backseat when it comes to rewards.

But at that moment, Bai Xuan's voice rang out, speaking calmly:

"System, it has been recycled."

His gaze remained fixed on the pure, ethereal image of the soul, as if confirming something, and he continued to explain:
"The so-called 'rule analysis system' is not an external [rule-level item]; it is simply a way of using ability that naturally arises from the combination of the transmigrator's own memories and cognition with the innate abilities of the special information aggregate race he merged with."

"The race he transmigrated to was meant to 'observe and record the changes in the rules of the universe and collect the fundamental data of the world.'"

"This race is born with the potential to interfere with, analyze, and even 'rewrite' the rules of reality to a certain extent. However, they lack independent 'thinking' and 'will,' and are like machines that follow fixed programs, unable to actively and flexibly use this ability."

"And the soul of the time traveler brings 'thinking' and 'purposefulness'."

"The combination of the two allows this latent talent to be truly 'activated' and 'systematized,' thus manifesting as a 'system'-like function."

"Essentially, it was merely a manifestation of his own racial abilities guided by wisdom, not an additional [rule-level item]."

The so-called "rule analysis system" is merely an ability derived from the combination of the transmigrator's soul and the race he transmigrated to; it is not a true "rule-level item" at all.

However, its unique race and the abilities it possesses give it an extremely terrifying potential for growth, given its capacity for thought.

Unfortunately, the transmigrators lost their own emotions during the fusion process. Without desires, even with the ability to think, they found it difficult to actively become stronger.

If he retained his emotions, he might be able to reach an extremely terrifying level, given the characteristics of the race he was born from.

Even a single universe-level scale is not impossible.

It's just that it will take a long time.

"Ok?"

"The 'rule parsing system' is just its capability? It doesn't even have a system at all?!"

Su Yunqing was completely dumbfounded after hearing Bai Xuan's explanation.

No, why make such a big fuss!
Such an incredibly difficult mission! Opponents of galactic caliber! And you tell her this transmigrator's system is fake?!

It's neither a Heavenly-level [Rule-level Item] nor a World-level [Rule-level Item]; it's just a "special racial individual" with innate skills?
The system level is at most the Milky Way level? Huh?
What's the difference between this and assembling a top-tier team to take down the final boss, only to find out after the fight that the boss dropped some basic, useless gear?
Not only Su Yunqing, but everyone else had the same expression.

Even Madara Uchiha frowned slightly.

The only time in the chat group's history that a transmigrator's mission was rated "high" was that the transmigrator himself did not carry any [rule-level items].
If it were a normal transmigrator mission, he wouldn't say anything, but this time, it's a transmigrator mission triggered by the merging of worlds.

Last time, the fusion of the two everyday worlds of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Himouto! Umaru-chan was able to trigger a transmigrator mission of the Heavenly Realm [Rule-level Item]. This time, the fusion of his and Aizen's two worlds has resulted in a transmigrator who doesn't even have a system.
Aizen's hand, which was adjusting his glasses, paused slightly. His gaze behind the lenses flashed with an extremely sharp light as he muttered to himself:
"It wasn't enhanced by external objects, but rather a manifestation of a natural ability derived from the combination of racial characteristics and intelligence."

"In that case, the potential and value of this race itself may be even more astonishing than a fixed 'system'."

His thoughts instantly shifted to the research value of this special race itself, but deep in his eyes, there was also a hint of surprise at the true level of his "opponent".

The most chaotic and frustrating moment of the entire event was undoubtedly that of Kaito Kuroba.

His lips twitched as he looked at the pure, ethereal soul in the air, and then recalled the chat group's records about the previous transmigrator missions. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"They were all newcomers participating in the transmigrator missions, but Kazuma Sato encountered a genuine All-Heavens-level [Rule-level Item]! Although Hachiman Hikigaya didn't participate, he was also chosen for a transmigrator mission involving an All-Heavens-level [Rule-level Item]."

"How come when it's my turn, I don't even have a system anymore?"

"This is even more upsetting than not being selected to participate in the mission at all!"

Kaito Kuroba felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

If he isn't selected this time, at least the chances of him being selected next time are higher. But if he is selected this time, there's a high probability he won't be selected next time.

I don't know when the next time will be.

Bai Xuan could understand the feelings of Su Yunqing, Kuroba Kaito, and the others at that moment.

Even he was somewhat surprised when he finally understood the true nature of the Observer Zero.

However, the chat group never mentioned that the transmigrators attracted by "world fusion" would necessarily carry world-level or even heaven-level [rule-level items].

Transmigrators themselves do not necessarily need to rely on external things to become strong.

The current situation is actually logical, but everyone has preconceived notions that the [Rule Analysis System] mentioned in the mission description is at least a world-class treasure, and has never considered that it is actually part of the transmigrator's own ability.

His gaze swept past the still-disordered crowd, calmly landing on Uchiha Madara, and he asked:
Would you mind if a true 'genius' were born in your world?

Although the time traveler's soul had been fused with that special information race for too long and had forgotten its past as a "human", the race's characteristics of "observation, analysis, and optimization of rules" were deeply imprinted in its soul.

Although not as exaggerated due to racial differences, it is still powerful enough.

If he were to be reincarnated, he would become a truly "gifted talent."

They possess an instinctive thirst for knowledge and an exceptional understanding of it, an intuition for rules that transcends ordinary people, and can even single-handedly propel the technology of a civilization forward by an entire era.

It would be a shame to let it be completely annihilated like this.

Perhaps because he has lingered in the position of "master of the world" for so long, witnessing the rise and fall of countless civilizations and the emergence and decline of talents in the blink of an eye, he always pays more attention to this kind of "possibility" that contains unknown potential.

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan flashed slightly.

From Bai Xuan's words, he immediately understood his intention: to allow this pure yet special soul to be reincarnated in his own world.

Although he didn't understand why Bai Xuan didn't take the soul with him, since even Bai Xuan called it a "gift from heaven," its potential must be extraordinary.

Madara Uchiha had no reason to refuse.

"Of course I don't mind."

Bai Xuan was not surprised by Uchiha Madara's decisiveness. He said no more and his gaze returned to the pure soul phantom. He flicked his fingertips almost imperceptibly.

A gentle light, imbued with the vitality of creation and the meaning of reincarnation, silently merged into the illusory soul.

The phantom trembled slightly, as if it had been given some kind of "guidance" and "protection," before turning into a glimmer of light. Like a dandelion seed carried by a gentle breeze, it drifted silently downwards and merged into the depths of the planet's earth.

Waiting for the right time, in a certain family, to begin a completely new life full of endless possibilities.

After doing all this, Bai Xuan did not stop.

His gaze slowly rose, landing on the boundless depths of space, where he saw countless stars that had become dim and chaotic due to the Observer Zero's forced extraction of energy.

Many stars have become dim and unstable, their internal balance has been disrupted, and some have even prematurely entered their aging stage.

Although this damage is insignificant compared to the vast universe, since he has descended into this world, the world's will has opened its rules to him, granting him a "fate," and he naturally accepts this kindness and should repay it.

He didn't say much, but simply raised one hand, palm facing the distant starry sky, and gently stroked it.

But the instant his palm touched the ground, a power beyond mortal comprehension, involving the fundamental rules of the universe, silently spread out and enveloped the entire Milky Way.

Time seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible hand at this moment, and flowed backward.

Those stars whose energy has been forcibly drained, whose light has dimmed, or even those on the verge of extinction, have their violent nuclear fusion reactions rewind like a movie, rapidly returning from an out-of-control, deteriorating state to their peak of stable burning.

The depleted energy core was refilled with boundless vitality, the disordered gravitational field was restored to balance, and the dim radiance became dazzling once again!
The starry sky, which had appeared somewhat "riddled" due to the plundering of its energy, was instantly restored to its former splendor and harmony.

Countless stars remained in their places, steadily emitting light and heat, as if the energy storm that had swept across the galaxy had never happened.

"All right."

"Now that this matter is settled, we should head back."

After Bai Xuan finished doing all this, he spoke calmly, his tone returning to its usual indifference.

Su Yunqing and the others didn't know what Bai Xuan had done, but seeing him looking at the starry sky, they roughly guessed what it was.

However, they were not surprised by this at all.

Because Bai Xuan is always like this.

The existence of the "Natural Authority" and the "Child of the Gods" status makes him equivalent to the "Child of the World" in each world.

As the "Child of the World," how could he possibly do nothing when he sees the world being damaged?
